C0mincrnfeaItIj  of  Passadjusetts, 


Secretary's  Office,  May  16,  1856. 
To  the  Honorable  the  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives  : 

In  pursuance  of  a  law  passed  by  the  Legislature  of 
1855,  a  copy  of  which  accompanies  this  communication, 
I  have  the  honor  to  submit  an  abstract  report  of  the 
statistical  information  collected  by  the  Assessors  of  the 
several  cities  and  towns  in  the  Commonwealth,  touch- 
ing  the  various  branches  of  industrial  pursuit  in  their 
respective  precincts. 

While  this  report  fails  to  do  full  justice  to  the  produc- 
tive industry  of  the  State,  it  is  believed  to  be  more  com- 
prehensive and  complete  than  either  of  its  predecessors, 
for  an  obvious  reason  that  will  be  likely  to  ^lake  the  next 
superior  to  this.  That  entire  accuracy,  which  is  so  desir- 
able, and  which  certainly  lies  within  the  scope  of  syste- 
matic and  persistent  effort,  has  not,  I  regret  to  say,  been 
attained  in  the  present  instance.  This  may  be,  and  is,  I 
apprehend,  in  some  measure,  owing  to  the  evident  haste 
with  which  the  law  of  1855  was  prepared.  Many  im- 
portant interests,  such  as  printing  and  publishing,  in  all 
their  various  departments,  engraving,  building,  coasting, 
the  manufacture  of  clofhing,  and  various  other  pursuits 
which  contribute  largely  to  the  wealth  and  prosperity  of 


xii  secretaey's  letter. 

the  State,  were  entirely  overlooked,  while  there  was  a  Avaiit 
of  uniformity  and  completeness  in  the  questions  contem- 
plated and  proposed  with  reference  to  several  other 
branches.  For  instance,  no  inquiry  was  made  as  to  the 
value  of  clocks,  sewing-machmes,  daguerreotypes,  hats 
and  caps,  cordage,  vessels  and  boats,  masts  and  spars, 
chocolate,  camphene,  straw  bonnets  and  hats,  and  gold 
pens.  Neither  w^as  there  any  inquiry  as  to  the  amount  of 
capital  invested  in  sugar  refineries,  in  the  manufacture  of 
fire  engines,  boots  and  shoes,  mathematical  instruments, 
straw  bonnets  and  hats,  whips,  and  twelve  other  articles 
which  figure  somewhat  largely  in  the  tables. 

For  the  first  and  most  important  omission  specified,  a 
general  inquiry  as  to  all  other  branches  than  those  specif- 
ically enumerated  in  the  law,  and  in  the  blanks  prepared 
in  conformity  with  it,  has  been  found  to  afford  but  an  in- 
adequate remedy.  With  ,  regard  to  printing,  publishing 
and  book-binding,  a  remedy  was  sought  in  circulars 
addressed  directly  to  the  proprietors  of  the  different  print- 
ing and  book-binding  establishments  in  the  State,  so  far 
as  they  could  be  ascertained.  But  these  proved  scarcely 
more  effective  than  the  general  inquiry.  The  whole 
amount  retuified  was  less  than  one  and  a  half  million  of 
dollars,  while  the  book-publishing  business,  in  the  city  of 
Boston  alone,  is  estimated  at  over  four  millions.  Out  of 
eighty-nine  printing  establishments  in  Boston,  answers 
were  received  from  only  twenty-six.  From  but  one  estab- 
lishment in  the  county  of  Norfolk  was  there  any  response, 
and  the  proprietor  of  a  newspaper  establishment  in 
Hampden  County  refused  to  answer.  Full  returns  were 
received  from  three  counties  oiily — Barnstable,  Dukes 
and  AVorcestcr.     These  returns,  desultory  and  unsatisfac- 


seceetary's  letter.  xiii 

tory  as  they  were,  are  embodied  in  the  appropriate  tables, 
of  which  they  constitute  the  principal  basis.  The  num- 
ber of  newspapers  and  periodicals,  however,  has  been 
made  up  from  other  sources. 

In  the  mstances  specified,  where  the  value  was  omitted, 
the  omission  has  been  supplied  by  estimates  obtained  from 
persons  whose  familiarity  with  the  particular  branches 
forming  the  subject  of  inquiry,  qualified  them  to  judge 
in  the  matter.  The  omission  of  capital  was  one  for  which 
no  remedy  suggested  itself. 

Another  impediment  to  entire  accuracy  has  been  found 
in  an  apparent  inability  to  comprehend  the  nature  and 
scope  of  the  questions  proposed,  or  a  culpable  disregard 
of  them,  on  the  part  of  some  of  the  Assessors.  In 
numerous  instances,  these  officers,  instead  of  obtaining 
answers  to  such  questions  as  were  presented  in  the  print- 
ed blanks  prepared  in  conformity  with  the  law,  obtained 
answers  to  other  and  very  different  ones  ;  which  answers, 
for  that  reason,  were  of  little  or  no  consequence.  In 
some  few  cases  it  would  almost  seem  that  special  pains 
were  taken  to  evade  the  real  questions,  and  procure 
answers  to  others  that  had  not  been  proposed.  On  the 
whole,  however,  the  Assessors  acquitted  themselves  of 
their  duties  with  intelligence,  precision  and  fidelity. 

When  the  industrial  statistics  of  the  State  were  first  * 
collected,  in  1837,  they  exhibited  an  annual  production 
amounting  to  ^^86,282,616.  In  1845,  the  amount  was 
$124,749,457.  It  has  now  swelled  to  $295,820,681,— 
an  increase  of  one  hundred  and  thirty-eight  per  cent, 
since  1845,  and  of  two  hundred  and  forty-two,  smce  1837  ; 
and  this,  while  the  increase  of  population  has  been  only 
thirty-four  per  cent,  since  1845,    and  sixty-two  in   the 


xir  secretary's  letter. 

longer  period  named.  And  this  result,  so  surprising  in 
itself,  falls,  manifestly,  below  the  reality.  Leaving  out  of 
the  account  those  branches  which  were  iinfortunately 
omitted  in  the  specific  inquiries,  and  making  all  possible 
allowance  for  the  greater  accuracy  attained  in  the  collec- 
tion of  the  information  embodied  in  the  accompanying 
pages,  it  is  still  apparent  that  the  truth  has  not  been 
reached.  It  is  next  to  impossible  for  the  tax-payer,  when 
called  upon  by  the  Assessor  to  answer  such  questions 
as  were  propounded  under  the  law,  to  divest  his  mind  of 
the  impression  of  an  intimate  connection  between  his 
answers  and  the  assessment  of  his  taxes.  Hence,  the 
general  tendency  to  understate  results,  and  an  absolute 
refusal,  in  numerous  instances,  to  answer  at  all.  Had 
those  branches  which  were  overlooked  been  included  in 
the  returns,  and  honest  and  truthful  answers  obtained  in 
all  cases  to  the  questions  proposed,  I  am  fully  persuaded 
that  instead  of  two  hundred  and  ninety-five  millions,  we 
should  have  had  an  aggregate  of  at  least  three  hundred 
and  fifty  millions,  or  considerable  over  one  million  of  dol- 
lars per  day  for  every  working  day  in  the  year.  As  it  is, 
the  result  exhibits  a  rapid  and  substantial  growth  in  our 
industrial  resources  which  is  believed  to  be  without  a 
parallel  in  the  history  of  the  world. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

FRANCIS  DeWITT, 

Secretary  of  the  Commonwealth.

Woollen  Mills.  Under  this  head  the  Assessors  return  the 
following  Report  from  the  Agent  of  the  Salisbury  Manufac- 
turing Company : — 

"  The  Works  of  the  Salisbury  Manufacturing  Company  are 
located  both  in  Salisbury  and  Amesbury,  (the  dividing  line  of 
the  towns  being  only  a  small  river,)  and  so  arranged  that  the 
machinery  in  both  towns  is  connected  in  the  operation. 

There  ar&  in  both  towns  6  mills,  with  50  sets  of  machinery, 
1  Printing  Mill,  together  with  Dye  Houses,  Dry  Houses,  Ma- 
chine Shops,  Sorting  House,  and  other  buildings. 

Wool  used,  502,306  lbs.;  Flannel  m'd.,  476,768  yds. ;  val., 
$137,000  ;  Tweeds,  Cassimeres,  &c.,  m'd.,  395,360  yds. ;  val., 
$283,000;  Satinet  m'd.,  71,468  yds.;  val.,  $30,000;  Table 
Covers  embossed,  15,094  ;  val.,  $25,000  ;  Total  val.,  $475,000  ; 
cap.,  $661,000  ;  m.  emp.,  440  ;  f.  emp.,  400. 

Owing  to  the  long  continued  drought,  the  stream  upon  which 
the  S.  M.  Co's.  works  arc  situated  gave*  out,  and  the  Company 
were  obliged  to  suspend  operations  for  something  over  three 
months  last  year,  by  which  means  the  product  was  materially 
smaller  than  it  would  otherwise  have  been.  The  Company 
have,  therefore,  only  given  their  business  for  the  six  months  end- 
ing June  1st,  1855.  This  should  be  divided  about  equally 
between  the  two  towns."
